I'm married, and I'm planning my first start-up next summer. My wife doesn't have to work, so she's planning on being a co-founder. As we've worked through ideas, we've purposefully thought about businesses that she would be interested in and passionate about. We've settled on one, and she's starting to work on the start-up now while I'm finishing school.
I actually think it's a shame that there aren't more women founders. There are many problems that women face that could be solved with software. A single hacker fresh out of college won't think of these problems much less solving them. Even then, single male hackers would be terrible at solving these problems. Theres a huge hole in the software market that's begging to be filled. Having a my wife as a founder is a strategic advantage. She thinks of a lot of things that I would never think of. And, she's worked in high-tech before. I'm career changing.
Besides, we get to work together, which is something that we've dreamed of and worked towards for years.

- ptn 19y agoI really meant that, no need to down-vote me. I was thinking about color combinations for the front page and stuff like that.
